 novel methods is used to properly choose a nite number of
available data on transmission rates [7].
The losses are caused by link errors only, the combined of
link errors and malicious drop. Conventional algorithms
which used detecting the packet loss rate cannot gives
satisfactory result for detection accuracy. The detection
accuracy is improved by a homomorphic linear authenticator
(HLA). HLA used public auditing architecture and allows
the detector to verify the packet loss information send by
nodes. To reduce the computation overhead of the baseline
scheme, a packet block based mechanism is used, which
allows one to trade detection accuracy for lower
computation complexity. It gives better detection accuracy
than conventional methods such as a maximum-likelihood
based detection [2].
Caching is to store parts of the mostly used content by users
in end users memory and its help to reduce peak data rates.
Considered the secure caching problem. The goal of
problem is to minimized leakage or information loss. It was
more secure for memory storage and in low cost, they
achieved good transmission rate. It is shown that the rate
achieved by the proposed caching scheme with secure
delivery is within a constant multiplicative factor from the
information-theoretic optimal rate for almost all parameter
values of practical interest [3].
III. ISSUES AND METHODS OF WSN
1. Distribution scheme: A distributed scheme for secure
ranging and node identication, applying the device
physical characteristics to locking the information, and the
response delay time, the DARNI (Device-based
Asynchronous Ranging and Node Identification) can be
used to detect misbehavior of anti-nodes. It solved anti-node
verication problem without changing any hardware and
software infrastructure and reliably provide a secure
distance measurement system in wireless sensor. We should
require focusing on the methods to design energy efficient
message to improve like DARNI method. Clustering method
is best to reduced energy[5].
2. Prevantion from vampire attack: A Vampire attack

consumed more energy than the honest node change the

packet node header. This problem is solved by no-
backtracking algorithms and measuring the strength of the
attack by the ratio of network energy used in the benign case
to the energy used in the malicious case. Safety from
Vampire attacks implies this ratio is equal to 1.
3. Per-node energy usage under attacks: the carousel
attack causes excessive energy usage for a few nodes, since
only nodes along a shorter path are affected. In contrast, the
stretch attack shows more uniform energy consumption for
all nodes in the network, since longest route, causing more
nodes to process the packet. The carousel attack can be
prevented entirely by having forwarding nodes check source
routes for loops but this adds extra forwarding logic and
thus more overhead. When a loop is detected, the source
route could be corrected and the packet sent on. A new class
of resource consumption attacks that use routing protocols
to permanently disable ad hoc wireless sensor networks by
depleting nodes battery power. These attacks do not depend
on particular protocols or implementations, but rather
expose vulnerabilities in a number of popular protocol
classes. Depending on the location of the adversary, network
energy expenditure during the forwarding phase
increased.[2]
To identify malicious node, we require the detection to be
performed by a public auditor. When a malicious node is
identied, the auditor should be able to construct a publicly
veriable proof of the misbehavior of that node. The
construction of such a proof should be privacy
preserving.[4]
Radio jammer provides security to WSN. Jammer is a
intelligent programmable device which disturb to the
original waves.
CONCLUSION
Survey based on WSN, APEA (accountable,
privacy-preserving and efficient authention) is efficient
authentication framework, which achieves security, privacy,
accountability and high efficiency without the help of any
trusted third party for wireless access networks. Clustering
based wireless sensor network will solve the problem of
security and privacy issues. Grid, hierarchy, linked cluster,
double hierarchy cluster are different clustering methods.

 The clustering with use of jammer will be providing more
security to WSN.
